Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

This quarterly magazine takes us cross county in the first tranche of essays on Pakistan, to reveal a nation of diverse, regionalist identities.

The second section is devoted to its literary tradition: Aamar Hussein takes a trip through the canon in "Found in Translation" from Ghalib to the post-Partition stories of Intizar Hussain, while Bina Shah's essay, "Paperback Writers", questions whether the 'boom' of new writers are capitalising on the terrorism narratives that the rest of the world has come to expect.
